Ave Verum Corpus

The Transcriptions Series series

Recital Music publish a wealth of original works for double bass alongside a popular, accessible and growing range of transcriptions for bassists of all ages and abilities. Most transcriptions published by Recital Music are by David Heyes, who has a successful and proven track record when arranging for double bass.

A welcome addition to the double bass quartet repertoire, this popular and lyrical choral masterpiece has been newly typeset and edited by David Heyes. It is available in two keys - C major/D major - published together. The sustained and chordal four-part writing is ideally suited to the bass quartet medium and it can be successfully performed with four basses or with larger forces. Ave Verum Corpus has been performed at many double bass workshops and concerts around the world and demonstrates the lyrical and sonorous qualities of the bass quartet.
